Discomfort when buckling up . . . Three point seat belts causes theupper cross over section to set upon or close to the users neck, whichis uncomfortable to the user. This embodiment has been designed to keepboth the upper and lower sections of any three-point seat belt togetherwhen buckling up. By keeping both the lap and cross over sectiontogether in the “Comfort Slide” the user can reposition the cross oversection and keep it away from their neck, which then makes itcomfortable when bucked up. This seat belt accessory will be made from aplastic, by way of injection molding. This accessory is a one-pieceunit. The Comfort Slide will be made out of clear plastic for thepurpose of matching any color seat belt assembly.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The “Comfort Slide” allows the use to slide both the upper cross overand lower lap sections into the accessory. The user of the three-pointseat belt assembly can now position the crossover section away fromtheir neck, by sliding the accessory away from the locking device.Moving the accessory away from the locking device changes the angle tothe position of the user when buckling up, allowing them to ride incomfort. The plastic accessory is a one-piece plastic unit. The (FIG. 1)shows a 3 dimensional view of the “Comfort Slide”. (FIG.) 2 shows thefront side of the “Comfort Slide”. (FIG. 3) shows the backside of the“Comfort Slide” which has an opening the full length of the accessory.This allows the user to slide the cross over section in first, and thenslide the lower lap section in on top of the cross over section.

The “COMFORT SLIDE” embodiment is a one-piece plastic device. It is easyto install, user friendly, and allows the user to ride in comfort.According to the drawings and pictures of the embodiment FIG. 1-5, youcan see how the Comfort Slide is made and how it is used on anythree-point seat belt assembly.

1. First step. The user takes and locks in the seat belt according towhichever seat they desire.

2. Second step. The user takes the embodiment and slides the crossoversection of the seat belt unit into as shown in FIG. 3, parallel with theembodiment.

3. Third step.

Now bothsections of the seat belt are installed in the embodiment. FIG. 3 is theback of the embodiment, which is towards the body of the user. FIG. 2 isthe front side of the embodiment.

4. Fourth step. Slide the embodiment towards the locking section of theseat belt assembly, and then slide it away from the locking device. Bothbelts should stay together within the embodiment. The embodiment shouldbe able to slide easily in either direction by the user.

5. Fifth step. According to the user, sliding the embodiment away fromthe locking device will change the position and how the cross oversection of the seat belt lays across their upper shoulder and neck area.This embodiment will allow the user to ride in comfort.

6. Six step. Disconnecting the seat belt assembly, slide the embodimentback to the locking device, and then unlock the locking device. The“Comfort Slide” will follow the seat belt assembly back to the normalholding position within the vehicle.

1. A positioning device for three-point seat belts. This embodiment is aflat one piece unit. The reference to this embodiment is shown in FIG.

. The comfort slide will be made out of clear plastic for the purpose ofmatching any color seat belt assembly. This embodiment has been designedto keep both the upper and lower sections of any three-point seat belttogether when buckled up. By keeping both the lap and cross over sectiontogether in the comfort slide embodiment the user can position the torsocross over section and keep it away from their neck.
